Beautiful idea, I like both styles and especially the combination of them! Do you plan on adding colour? I could imagine the pcb-part in solid black & white and some watercolour-like rainbows on the squiggly part

That was exactly my thought as well

Vibrant colors
It’s totally up to Eriequiet, but I’d think to visualize duality, it would feel more fitting to have one part black/white and the other as colourful as possible
Just my gut feeling, obviously

No you’re spot on for what I was going for
Found a whole lot of example art similar to what I was toying with
As much as the pcb is amusing, I hesitate on that, but I was thinking maybe even something like right angle line art, so almost a labyrinth or maze type design could be fitting l

that’s a solid idea!!
Completed sleeve on my left arm done by Lucky Matthews, @luckdangit on Instagram. First few sessions were done at Icon Tattoo in Portland, OR and the last two sessions were done at the Pagoda Tattoo Fest in Pennsylvania.
We’ve got one more session to do a full arm touch-up and get all the knooks and crannies - not sure when that’ll be since I have to fly out west, but other than that it’s totally done. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

White ink / scarification on a blackout is one of the greatest stylistic combinations in tattooing IMO.

Quite a cool idea!
Mine is happy and calm, we did some re-cutting some time ago, so it still looks a bit uneven colour-wise… gonna post a picture when the redness near the wrist faded a bit more. But, compared to my chest, the scars are less “bumpy” - it is quite a subtle mod, I think. Aaaaand I love it 
Next thing is soon to come, though - in exactly one week, I’m getting a new implant 
I think scarification looks even cooler on blackouts, simply because it won’t fade, the colours won’t blend, and it often has that nice three dimensional effect. White ink can be very interesting on its own or for little details, but for me personally, it doesn’t stand out enough when put over solid blackwork.

Hey folks!
Long time lurker & biohacker, first time poster.
Looking to see where I can realistically buy those glow-in-the-dark silicone bioluminescence implants, such as the one @Coma 's got.
I’m in the US, but able to get stuff shipped from pretty much anywhere. Google’s only coming up with results from crappy tabloid articles about some lady with light-up boobs.

Here is a link to Steve Haworth’s store - he sells a ton of silicon (glow in the dark included) implants.
Also, Gattoo Moreno is a traveling body mod artist who can do pretty much anything you could ever think of and has a lot of silicone in his portfolio.

@biospoonie already linked the right shop - my implant is from Haworth, too, and I’m really happy with the quality. Gonna get another one tomorrow
He’s doing a lot of interesting things… have you worked with him?
Honestly, I have some prejudices against traveling artists (not guest artist, but just people who don’t have any studio at all) - there are some not-so-good examples, and they can be a lot harder to reach if something goes wrong and you need someone to take care of you. And I’m still sceptical of those eyeball tattoos 
But on the other hand, I know that such mods are just impossible (and simply illegal) in a lot of countries, so I guess travelling artists are a good workaround to that.

Not personally, but I met some folks at the last tattoo convention I was at who had good experiences with him.
That’s totally fair! I hadn’t thought about the “reachability” factor but that makes a lot of sense.
Oh me too - I have a mental “You do you, but fuck that.” list when it comes to body mods…eyeball “tattoos” are definitely on that list for me. Really, anything that involves altering an organ (skin excluded, I guess) scares the crap out of me.
Haha, yes, totally! I have two eyes which give me the ability to see - the risk of losing that is too much for me personally. They do look cool on some people, but the problem is, even if you visit the best available artist for that, the risk of going blind is still there… while for other “serious” mods, risks can be reduced to near zero just by chosing some good artist.
Tbh, that’s one of the most important points for me - you can have good traveling artists and terrible ones with studios, but people with studios at least have to deal with the problems they might have caused
And even if I fuck up things myself, I know my artist will take care of me.
Mhm, I think there are some amazing guys in Central or South America, lots of “extreme” stuff, but some with really good quality… I lost track of that a little since BME is nearly dead, and I’m already happy if I can stay more or less informed about the artists in Europe
